Application filed September 23, 1882.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CONRAD J. HEIDMEYER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Allegheny, in the county ot' Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Monuments; and I do hereby declare-that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

The drawing is a vertical sectional view.

This invention relates to monuments; and it consists of, as an improved article of manufacture, a hollow iron monument having its interior walls enameled with a vitreous substance and its exterior Walls enameled by a similar substance in imitation of marble, slate, granite, or the like, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing, the letter A designates a monumentofordinary form, which is built up of sections B B, of cast or wrought iron. These sections are made hollow, and are enameled over the entire surface, inside and outside. The interior surface of the monument or section thereof is enameled in order to guard against rust or c0rrosion,-and the ex terior surface is protected in the same manner (Nu model.)

I and for the same purpose, the enamel of the exterior, however, being applied in such a slate, granite, or other stone.

The enameling'composition should beapplied to the iron-surface in the best manner known to those skilled in this art, the composition bring fused upon the iron in a suitable furnace.

Name-plates and ornaments can be applied to these hollow monuments with great facility, care being taken to east the bolts or studs which are to serve as fastenings in the plate or other ornament, so that there will be no disfiguring projections.

Havingdescri bed thisinvention,whatIclaim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As an improved article of manufacture, a hollow iron monument havingits interior walls enameled with a vitreous substance, and its exterior walls enameled with a similar substance in imitation of marble, slate, granite, or the like, substantially as specified.

In testimony-that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed myname in the presence of two witnesses.
